@SleeperPadres @JasonLSwitzer Ty and King to the @Phillies? Push Harper back out to RF.

Ty France over his last 5 games: 🔥 ⚾ 8-for-18 (.444) 💣 5 Home Runs 💥 8 RBIs 🏃 5 Runs Scored Ty France is on an absolute tear.

@FriaR_15 @DevineGospel Petco is terrible for fringe batters. Makes me appreciate Tatis and Manny even more

Eric Hosmer OPS in 4.5 years with the Padres: .737 Xander Bogaerts OPS in 4 years with the Padres: .720

@PadresHMA @sdutKevinAcee fluke start, now in last 30 games we're like 12-18, so just retool for next year and maximize the Tatis prime window

Will Padres fans ever agree on the deadline? @SdutKevinAcee explains why everyone wants change, but no one agrees what that change should be. "I don't know what a rebuild looks like."

“I do think Mason Miller to the Yankees is a real possibility.” - Jon Heyman

@TalkinYanks Mason Miller, Michael King, and Luis Campusano for Lombard, Lagrange, Jasson

Aaron Boone hinted that there's one specific player he has in mind for the Yankees at the trade deadline

@SleeperYankees Padres seem to not appreciate Luis Campusano. He'd be fun to watch in Yankee stadium.

Jeff Passan: A trade for Ryan Jeffers is “much likelier” for the Yankees than deals for Hunter Goodman or Shea Langeliers.

@SleeperPadres Give me Ryan Sloan

Who’s your favorite realistic trade candidate?

@MarinerMuse Miller + Ty for Kirby + Arroyo I'll cry when the Mariners stretch Miller back out as a starter next year and he wins the Cy

Well that’s very specific

@TooMuchMortons_ @OUxPadres longshot but also TEX Sebastian Walcott. Miller, King, and Cronenworth are all nice fits for the team especially considering the AL West is open for the taking.

@OUxPadres Wouldn’t mind Sloan too

Make it hurt Preller like you made me sad for like 3 days after Leo was traded

@sdutKevinAcee campy moving up!

All sorts of changes to lineup today, including Xander Bogaerts batting 8th for the first time since 2015. “Play better,” Bogaerts said. “… Try to contribute.” Tatis RF Cronenworth 2B Machado 3B France 1B Merrill CF Campusano C Sheets LF Bogaerts SS Rengifo DH

@Smqr1976 dodgers seem to have brought in those specific guys for this healthy culture. don't know if that was part of the plan with Xander, but he's not really been able to add much given his struggles on the field. I think Laureano would have been a good vet leader but yeah...

As much as I may find it uncomfortable guys like Will Smith, Justin Turner, Kershaw, Mookie, Freddie, Muncy set a healthy professional, ball Buster winning culture for the Dodgers.

The Padres biggest need is an absolute unquestioned super leader like Ken Caminiti was, the guy who’s about to faint takes an IV and Snickers and hits 2 homers, a guy that pulls out a hangnail with pliers, that sets a culture.

Would be fun to the Pirates bring the hometown kid Mason Miller back home. It'd cost them Seth Hernandez, but PNC park would be full to watch Skenes handing the ball off to the Reaper. Mason Miller + Adrian Morejon for Seth Hernandez, Murf Gray (longterm 1B for pads?), Hunter Barco (backend rotation lefty)

Guy on the far right is a cheat code and you will have to pay a hefty price if you want his services

@lonestarfriar Brutal. Packaging him with a bullpen arm to the Pirates made a lot of sense

Another trade piece off the board 😔

@SD_Brownie3 That’d be an insanely OF with insane range

Imagine trading Mason Miller and getting back Oneil Cruz, Jared Jones, AND other talented young pitchers in return. 🤯⚾️

@andybolin2 It’s just a retool year. Turn expiring contracts in to future value. It’s how good teams - TB, Brewers - are run. Packaging King, Morejon, and Ty could bring back some very valuable prospects. Imagine a return from the Rangers, Redsox, Phillies

Thoughts on the Padres. Thanks for reading my TedTalk talking points.

Would be elite for a team to trade for him, extend him in the offseason and then stretch him out. If he did get traded, would be really fun to see him with Morejon slamming the door for the @Pirates and helping them make a Cinderella run to the playoffs

@MLBNetwork @Pirates should go get Miller, Morejon, and Adam. Would be so fun to have their games be over at 6 innings with that staff

Greg's top targets at the Trade Deadline: 1. Mason Miller 2. Tarik Skubal 3. Mike Trout 4. Joe Ryan 5. Shea Langeliers 6. Michael King 7. Robbie Ray 8. Luke Weaver 9. Sandy Alcantara

@SD_Brownie3 I think we could wrestle a good prospect loose by pairing him with Michael King to the Phils - Gage Wood?

彼の今季年俸はたったの1.35Mです 守備もGG級です 対価期待してます

@JustBB_Media @JeffPassan Buy a complete bullpen from the padres - Adam, Morejon, Miller - and really go for it

The Tigers are “far more likely than not” to trade Tarik Skubal at the deadline, per @JeffPassan.

@ChrisCoop_ Yeah that’s nuts. Better to hold Lagrange for a higher impact deal

Can someone unbiased tell me if I am nuts for thinking Zack Gelof should not remotely net a top 100 prospect, let alone Lagrange lol? The Yankees traded Everson Pereira for 3.5+ years of Caballero to a division rival. Caballero, in a utility role, put up 2.0 fWAR for three years in a range of 300 - 450 PAs each of those seasons. Zack Gelof has higher upside than Caballero of course, has better results this year, and is younger. But was dreadful the last two years, isn't "elite" defensively, and has showed some very questionable quality of contact/bat-to-ball skills this year, yielding a .290 xwOBA. A .290 xwOBA that has stagnated over his rolling 100 PA window for a while now. I am intrigued by Gelof as an option for a lesser price though for sure...the bat speed/swing decisions combo is potentially a hidden gem for an org to find value from, especially if he's used in a platoon role against LHP at 2B for Jazz for example. But this is a player who has very severe bat-to-ball problems who has struggled to both lift the ball in the air and hit the ball hard enough to compensate for that. And he has fewer years than what the Yankees got Caballero for, who they viewed at similarly in terms of being used against LHP + threw him in a driveline lab to get more out of his power. And they gave up far, far, far less than a top 100 prospect lol.
